The Deepwater Development Conference (Marine Construction Engineering Deepwater Development (MCEDD)) is the leading engineering and construction conference dedicated to the development of deepwater oil and gas fields around the globe.

New Deepwater Plays, New Deepwater Ways: The 2025 conference sets its vision on the raft of new plays in the global deepwater sector, such as Namibia and Suriname, as well as those developing at pace like Guyana, while still taking lessons learned from established markets in Brazil and the Gulf of Mexico. Deepwater professionals, like the wider energy industry, are striving to maximise revenues while minimising the environmental impact of doing so—what technologies and innovations are driving the new deepwater ways and what developments will the future hold?
